Some actual B&W photography for a change: this is from the interior of the Michael Lee-Chin crystal at the ROM, seen in early June when it was empty and open to the public. Taken with the Nikon FG and 24mm lens on Kodak Tri-X film, developed in Thornton’s two-bath developer.

The workup of my pictures from our trip to California is progressing slowly but surely. I narrowed the 1,200 digital images down to about 65 “selects”, and am busy doing RAW conversions and other such stuff. The twelve rolls of film from the Rolleiflex are developed and ready for scanning (whenever that might be).

Overall, I’ve been pleased with the photos and emboldened by the editing process. It really forces you to identify what helps and what hinders your compositions. In my case, people help, and slavish adherence to compositional rules hinders. That and not enough photographic risk-taking.
